success of each school and of each
teacher in the county. 1t is evident
that one uniform method running
through the whole length Of life is
great gain IN time and labor. The
aim of the graduating system is to
lift this line Of uniformity until it
shall include knowledge of all the
common school branches. 1t has
been said that mo system of public
education is worthy of the name
unless it creates a great educational
ladder, with one end in the gutter
and the other in the university The
graduating system aims to lift all the
youth of the country to the first round
of this educational ladder. We GER
tainly need some harmonious system,
which shall be to the educational
work of the county, what the moving
machine is to the farm, the sewing
machine to the family and the loco
motive to travel. And 1 certainly
believe that the nearest approach to
this which has yet been made is the
movement to introduce in all the
districts of the county the graduating
system of county schools.

In speaking of Senator Lucas to the

Governor Wilson said: "He is 4
staunch Jeffersonian Democrat, and
with that political faith he is neces-
sarily opposed to every species of
monopoly. AS lawyer and public
speaker he ranks among the ablest in
the State, and as a man of letters and
general literature he has no superior.
He is man of positive convictions,
and can always be relied upon as a
friend of the people, and that is the
kind of man upon whom, in my own
Judgment, should be conferred SO inn
portant public trust. Besides all
these things, he comes from the DEM

CARPETS, On CLOTH AND MATING
We are determined 10 do big trade in
carpets, oil cloth and mating this spring
and in order to do that we have to sell
you goods cheap, that is for less money
than you can find them at other places.
We are now prepared to do that as we
have bought very largely and early and
have some very great bargains in desir-
able new styles, we can show you very
good carpet at % cents per yard. Our
all wool filling carpets at 80 cents are
great bargains which few years ago
sold at 65 cents and our 65 cts. is very
heavy all wool filling that sold a few
years ago at 80 cents. In home made
rag carpets we have the best and
smoothest that have ever been brought
to this market. price from 80 cents up.
Straw mattings we bought in December.
we knew we wouldn't need them till
spring but the fellow wanted money
very badly at the time SO he put the
prices down and we put the money down.
So we can sell them at from five to ten
cents yard cheaper than if we would
have bought them in the regular way.
All we ask is to call and see our goods
and get prices and we will with pleasure
show you through. EMMERT & FIERY.

he must have persisted. News is
scarce at this time as we failed to re-

Those taking THE HERALD. should
not be too forward in blaming the

the delinquent P. M. at Cherry Run
in neglecting to retorward the mail
directed to this Office. Some parties
received their papers from Cherry
Run on Saturday evening.
This is not the first time this thing
has occurred. This leaves room for
a report to the Department. There is
some talk of changing the names of

BEGGARY BUsINEsS.-Iti is amusing
to hear railroad employees drum
ming" for some poverty-stricken no.
tel, and it suggests two ideas, either
the railroad hasn't enough business to
keep its hands employed, or the hotel
hasn't enough to get decent break
fast, and knocks off cents from such
Especial" drummer's board or wash
bill for bringing in the daily bread.
Said a travelling man in this office
lately,-the minute l struck this town
my hotel had been selected for me-,
the teamster to haul my goods, the
printer to do my printing, all at pre-
arranged prices, but kindly thank
ed these gentlemen for attending to
my business, took up my traps and
boarded the train for the next town.
Such beggary business brings discred-
il upon town and all honorable bust
ness it conflicts with. We have said
years ago and we repeat it again, that
it would pay the town to keep its
paupers-at-large for the sake of the
city's credit and good name. There
are several aid societies here that
business beggars might appeal to.

FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off revenue stamps from Pro-
prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as we'll as re-
lieving the burden of home manufac-
turers. Especially is this the case with
Green's August F2oUer and Boschee' S Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six
cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the rs cent size. The
August F7o,rer for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles. have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size.
